Treatment of neurological disease involves both supportive care and aetiology related therapy.  Some forms of neurological disease such as trauma may require up to one year of supportive care before snakes will begin to take prey spontaneously. Months of supportive care are often required for neurological deficits to restore but in many cases they may never heal. In some cases [[Lizard and Snake Euthanasia|euthanasia]] is probably the most humane act.  Aetiology related therapy may not be possible in many cases.
